In 1962, the radio production was abandoned and sold to HEA, after EUMIG had cumulatively sold some 3 million radios. The company then focused on the construction of movie cameras and projectors at its two plants in the Neudorf and Furstenfeld sections of Vienna. After Kodak (USA) introduced film, in 1965 EUMIG launched the movie camera 'Viennette Super-8' and the projectors 'Mark M Super-8' with threader and arrest projection and 'Eumig Mark S Super-8' for Super-8 sound film.

At the time, EUMIG was the only European manufacturer with a complete range of equipment for Super-8 film. In 1969, it expanded again, acquiring the Swiss company, before introducing the Eumig Movie Camera 'mini' in 1971.

It would go on to produce about 500,000 units of the mini series. In 1973, EUMIG introduced the silent film projector 'Mark 610 D' (switchable for Regular 8 and Super 8 film), which was sold in a similar form as Bolex 18-3 Duo and the Revuelux 3003. In 1974, the Executive Board of the Vienna Buchengasse moved to a new high-rise next to the factory in Neudorf.

By 1975 EUMIG had become the largest film projector manufacturer in the world, turning out some 500,000 projectors a year, and employing some 5,000 people. In 1976, EUMIG entered into a contract with (USA) for the production of instant film devices The system consisted of the camera, the presenter and film, delivered in special cassettes, that could be developed immediately after exposure and demonstrated after only 90 seconds. Two years later, however, EUMIG had to lay off 1,000 employees after Polaroid stopped its orders for Polavision. In 1977 Eumig tried again in the radio hifi industry and introduced the 3-head stereo cassette deck 'Metropolitan CCD', with a tuner and amplifier as a 'Metropolitan CC' in a console design, with fully electronic sensor control and opto-electronic synchronization control. In 1979, EUMIG began working on a portable video recorder, first developed by for the LVR system (Longitudinal Video Recording, wherein the recording is carried out in 48 parallel tracks).

But later that year, the LVR project was discontinued, as the market opportunities were considered to be too few. A EUMIG Mark S810 Super 8 movie sound projector The Eumig FL-1000uP cassette deck came out in 1979, replacing the Metropolitan Series. It used a microprocessor, the Mostek MK 3870. It had a more advanced drive than the Metropolitan, with a front loading design in which the winding speed was electronically governed at Rewind (short rewind time), and was able to tape media positions accurately with an electronic counter, with an extremely short acceleration time. The built-interface could control up to sixteen decks from a computer. The FL 1000uP won the 'Award for Design and Engineering' at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in in 1979, where none of the Japanese devices shown had a similar functionality to EUMIG's. Also that year, Eumig launched the waterproof film camera 'Nautica' for Super 8, usable up to 40 meters below the surface.
